Before Keystone Pipeline Decision, President Obama and Hillary Clinton Backed Expansion of Fossil Fuel

Development

According to a scorecard of Senate votes compiled by the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), Clinton cast two votes in support of 2006 legislation to vastly expand drilling in the Gulf. Those votes put her on the opposite side of then-Sen. Barack Obama. That same year, Sen. Bernie Sanders (now her 2016 rival) voted against a House measure to expand offshore drilling. Clinton also voted in 2001 to kill a measure that would have restricted such drilling off the coast of Florida. Sanders voted for the restrictions.

Sanders -- who last week introduced legislation restricting drilling on public lands and offshore areas -- received a 95 percent lifetime rating from LCV. Clinton received an 82 percent rating. On Monday, LCV -- which is run by former Clinton EPA administrator Carol Browner -- announced it is endorsing Clinton in the 2016 presidential race. Sanders has been endorsed by another powerful environmental group, Friends of the Earth.

Foreign Policy (“smart power”?)

...when Secretary Clinton was Secretary of State, she took very little action to bring about peace. -former President Jimmy Carter in a recent interview Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: Bernie Sanders Is the Commander in Chief We Need

A New Libya, With ‘Very Little Time Left’

And Mrs. Clinton would be mostly a bystander as the country dissolved into chaos, leading to a civil war

that would destabilize the region, fueling the refugee crisis in Europe and allowing the Islamic State to

establish a Libyan haven that the United States is now desperately trying to contain.

The lessons of the Libya experience have not tempered her more aggressive approach to international

crises.

The Libya debacle undermines Clinton’s foreign policy credentials

Exposing the Libyan Agenda: A Closer Look at Hillary’s Emails

Cleaning Up Hillary’s Libyan Mess

Clinton’s ultimate vulnerability on Libya is that she was a principal author of another disastrous “regime

change” that has spread chaos not only across the Middle East and North Africa but into Europe, where

the entire European Union project, a major post-World War II accomplishment, is now in danger.

Clinton may claim she has lots of foreign policy experience, but the hard truth is that much of her

experience has involved making grievous mistakes and bloody miscalculations.

Oklahoma Geological Survey - Summary Statement on Oklahoma Seismicity (April 21, 2015)

The Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) considers it very likely that the majority of recent earthquakes,

particularly those in central and north-central Oklahoma, are triggered by the injection of produced

water in disposal wells. The primary source for suspected triggered seismicity is not from hydraulic

fracturing, but from the injection/disposal of water associated with oil and gas production.

Power plant. The federal government has already approved expanding the pipeline to 42 inches wide.

Assemblywoman Sandra Galef, whose Westchester district includes both the nuclear plant and the

pipeline, said the project is a potentially dangerous mistake. “Now this isn’t just any old nuclear plant,”

said Galef. “It’s the one closest to the major metropolis area of New York City, and the one highlighted

on September 11, 2001 when it appeared on terrorists’ maps.”

Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing. -Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies" (April 29, 1938) http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=15637 We have to struggle with the old enemies of peace: business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They have begun to consider the government of the United States as a mere ‘appendage’ to their own affairs. We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. -Franklin D. Roosevelt, Speech at Madison Square Garden (October 31, 1936) http://millercenter.org/president/speeches/speech-3307 (audio and text) These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power.

Here in America we are waging a great and successful war. It is not alone a war against want and destitution and economic demoralization. It is more than that; it is a war for the survival of democracy. We are fighting to save a great and precious form of government for ourselves and for the world. -President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Address to the Democratic National Convention (June 27, 1936) http://millercenter.org/president/fdroosevelt/speeches/speech-3305 (audio and text) Barack Obama Never Said Money Wasn’t Corrupting; In Fact, He Said the Opposite
